When coach Rex Ryan was asked yesterday about whether he was concerned about Darrelle Revis’ hamstring, the Jets head coach politely interrupted and said: “We’re past that now.

“He’s ready to roll,” Ryan said. “I’m firmly convinced that we’re through with that, because I see him out there.”

Indeed, defensive coordinator Mike Pettine talked about how good the Pro Bowl cornerback has looked in practice this week, saying, “He made a couple of plays in [yesterday’s] practice where you could hear guys in the background saying, ‘He’s baaack.’ ”

There is a consensus among Jets coaches and players that a healthier Revis will mean more sacks up front. The Jets have produced only 13 sacks this season, some 12 off the league lead and nine behind the Packers, Sunday’s opponent.

“When you have Darrelle healthy along with [fellow starting cornerback Antonio] Cromartie, that ought to make it an opportunity for us to get some sacks,” Ryan said.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers this week called Revis and Cromartie the best two starting cornerback tandem in the NFL.

Speaking of sacks, Taylor, making the point that getting sacks is harder than ever now with the way teams play offense with quick releases of quarterbacks, called making a sack “the hardest thing to do in pro sports, except for maybe a hole-in-one in golf.”

Asked what it means that he has 130.5 career sacks, he said: “It says I’ve been around a long time.”

After Ryan said he knew the Packers, because they’re thin on the defensive line, would claim DT Howard Green
after the Jets released him Tuesday, he was oddly cryptic when asked why he didn’t wait to release Green until after this week.

“We did what we thought was in the best interest of our football team,” Ryan said. “I’m happy for Howard, but I’m not concerned he’s playing for [the Packers]. A lot of things go into [releasing Green when they did] and we’ll leave things private with our football team internally.”

Jets LB Calvin Pace
(foot), who was limited on Wednesday, practiced full yesterday for the first time since his injury.

Former Rutgers star Jamaal Westerman
had teammates autograph a Jets helmet which he said he’ll present to Rutgers DL Eric LeGrand
, who was paralyzed below the neck two weeks ago against Army. The Jets are donating $5,000 to the LeGrand “Believe” Fund.

Jets special teams coach Mike Westhoff
has a mixed reaction to Denver head coach Josh McDaniel
saying the Jets were vulnerable to the onsides kick the Broncos executed against them in the Jets’ last game.

“I invented the damn thing, so I don’t care what he says,” Westhoff said. “What he said was actually right, but I don’t know where the hell he was when I started the damn thing and to tell you the truth I don’t care. But he was right. It was my fault. I let my aggressiveness get the best of me.”

Westhoff explained that he was setting up a Brad Smith
return when he should have had “rover” Ben Hartsock
slip up as a sixth player up front.

“I blame myself because I could have done something to discourage [the kick],” he said.

Westhoff also said he might get LB Josh Mauga
activated for the first time this season Sunday “because he deserves the opportunity.” He, too, is trying to work rookie CB Kyle Wilson
into the mix more as a punt returner.
